iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 6 Plus

With the announcement of these two new phones from Apple, everyone got excited as both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been eagerly awaited. We covered the launch here but we’ve now played around with these two phones and have the comparison for you.

Co-founder of Shoplinkz Jonathan Stephens has been playing around with both of these new phones to try and work out which is best and, importantly, which is more practical. Jonathan said: “I preordered the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB, received it on Friday, and activated it. They weren’t lying, this thing is BIG! After playing around with it for 24 hours, here’s what I discovered. Unless you are 6’4″ or taller, you aren’t going to be able to operate the 6 Plus with one hand easily.

“This is clearly a two-handed mobile device. Good luck hitting the back button in Safari landscape mode. I tried using it in several different environments: home office, car, doing my daily work & activities. It’s just not practical for me personally to have a device that big for a phone, it’s not mobile enough for me.

“After spending a day with it, I decided to go to the Apple Store and exchange the 6 Plus for the iPhone 6 128GB Space Gray. I’m really happy that I made the exchange. The 6 is the perfect size for me and how I use it every day. If I want a bigger screen, I can go to my 2 iPads or other devices. And believe me, 4.7″ for the 6 has an impressive screen size that’s big enough.”

Jonathan wanted to share this with you all to help you make a decision if you’re struggling to choose between these two new devices.

“I now have no regrets. Glad I got to play with the 6 Plus for a day to make the right choice. Good luck with choosing!”
